- “I don’t deserve this, Shinatobe. I told you on the first day we met that I didn’t deserve to have you at my side. Then, Okami appeared. I am very lucky to have you both, but I am not even half as wise as my father. I like this World a lot, and meeting Mermaids, Fairies, Elfians and Beast-kind is a dream come true. Using Magic and my fighti

Alex opened the door of the closet and entered into the light. He waved at the group that was smiling at him and closed the door. A new door appeared and after opening it, Sakamo exited the cubicle and was once again, in his School’s toilet. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and mumbled while fixing his collar: - “Might as well go, considering I came here with that excuse…”

When classes ended, Sakamo put the books in his bag, and when he looked up, Hangaku was right next to him, with a big smile: - “All done and ready to go?” - “Yes, but why are you smiling like that? You have a weird plan or what?”

After a quick dinner at the University’s cafeteria, Sakamo went in the car his bodyguard called for him, straight to the National Stadium. As soon as the car stopped near one of the entrances that were marked as ‘service entry’, Sakamo got out and told the driver to go, even with the driver arguing that he had to accompany him, since Sakamo gave his bodyguard the day off. Sakamo left him shouting at him, and went away, disappearing among the crowd. Sakamo grabbed his phone when he felt it vibrating in his pocket: - “Hello, Sakamo Ryu here… Oh, Hangaku-chan! Yes, I am here, I just arrived. Yes, I am near that entrance. Wait a minute… No, I don’t see you. Wait,

The crowd clapped and Tomoe’s band members and choir singers entered the stage, going to their positions. The lights diminished as the first accord of the electric guitar sounded, and Tomoe rhythmically clapped, and the entire Stadium joined her. Meanwhile, Sakamo was changing to his clothes again, and when he placed the weapons against the wall, a group of quick knocks on the door and some shouts, alarmed him. The door opened, and a very surprised Hangaku Mae entered, running and stopping close to him. She looked at the clothes on the hangers and stuttered:

When Tomoe arrived, she had a white t-shirt with a dark jacket on top, jeans, and sneakers. A big pair of yellow-lens glasses and a hat that she used to hide her hair underneath. Like that, she could pass for one of them instead of the famous singer and model. Hangaku looked at her and made an appreciative nod. “That’s more like it. So, does anyone have any idea where to go?”

Takechi left the stage, with a lot of clapping and laughter following him. A man approached him with tears in his eyes from so much laughter and said, “Boy, that was hilarious! Let me tell you, I have been in this business for quite some time, and it’s always a good idea when a comedian uses something particular about his looks or his personal experience to make a funny act. You are on the right track. Continue creating funny stories like that one, and I bet you will be big!” Takechi Hito vigorously nodded, because he recognised the man from previous visits. He also knew that the man was a famous comedian, and it was rumoured he made an appearance now and then in that club, which was why Takechi started to go there. Takechi made a dee

In the morning, Hangaku Mae woke up with an alarm on her mobile phone. Tomiko Hari grunted, still half asleep, when Hangaku shook her, “Five more minutes… mom…” Hangaku shook her again. “Who are you calling mom, dumbass? Get up already! I don’t want to be late because you were giggling most of the night instead of sleeping!” Tomiko sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes. “I didn’t do that all night! Maybe a little before falling asleep. Besides, who are you to complain? I felt you moving a lot, and I think I heard you moaning during the night!”

The Princess sat on the empty chair near Sakamo and reached for a plate that she began filling with food while speaking, “That would be difficult indeed, but you would probably manage a good excuse. You could say we met two years ago when I was having a tantrum in front of my Elementary School because I didn’t want to go, and I screamed for help.” “That was what happened, remember?” The Princess nodded with a big smile. “Yeah, you thought my bodyguards were criminals that were trying to kidnap me, and you knocked them out! I spent all day with you, we went to an amusement park, we wal

So, without informing anyone, he purchased two one-way tickets to Nepal for himself and Hangaku Mae, leaving on his kitchen counter a single note stating that they were going to live in a secluded monastery deep in the mountains for their retirement, leaving behind his stressful work at the Earthquake Institute and as a part-time teacher at Tokyo Metropolitan Nishi High School.

After nearly an hour of walking, they arrived at the vicinities of the main gate of the Imperial Palace. Sakamo thought it was weird if she lived there, but probably her parents worked there. To his surprise, a group of four men ran to them as soon as they recognised the Princess, and one of them shouted to Sakamo, “Let her go! Why are you holding her hand like that? Why did you kidnap her?” Sakamo felt Hiko trembling as she hid behind him, and he whispered, “What do these guys want? Are they friends of those guys this morning?”
